Lyrics
The Wall & I
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A divide
Calling all the faithless in flight
What am I
I am only dust in this light
But I would like to find another way to find you here
You sat in the garden by the road
Mummified, nullified in the soil
The feeling weighs a fuck load in the morn'
They must have dropped the call
Thank goodness I wrote
A disguise
Wear it till I think that it's real
I dunno
You may never know how I feel
But I would like to find another way to find you here
I stared up the wall and he said
‘I don't know' is not an answer to the question
In the time
That it takes to open this wound
Lay me down
Tell me it'll be different soon
But I would like to find another way to find you here
I stared up the wall and he said
‘I don't know' is not an answer to the question
